Package-based installation (DEB/RPM)
This section concerns upgrading of your OpenProject installation for packaged-based installation methods.
Patch and minor releases
Upgrading to a newer patch or minor version of OpenProject is as easy as installing a newer OpenProject package and
running the openproject configure command.
Please follow the steps listed below according to your Linux distribution.
Debian / Ubuntu
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade openproject
sudo openproject configure
CentOS / RHEL
sudo yum update
sudo yum install openproject
sudo openproject configure
SuSE
sudo zypper update openproject
sudo openproject configure
Major upgrades
OpenProject uses a different package repository for each Major version of OpenProject. This means that if you want to switch from (e.g.) OpenProject 11.x to 12.x, you will need to explicitly update your package source to be able to install the newer versions.
The necessary steps are the same as setting up the package source for the first time. You can also check the installation guide for more information. Please follow the link below to see the appropriate steps for your Linux distribution.
After following the steps to update the package source, updating the openproject package and running openproject configure, your system will be up to date.
In case you experience issues, please note the exact steps you took, copy the output of all commands you ran and open a post in our installation support forum.
Running openproject configure
It is important that you run the openproject configure command after every upgrade of OpenProject, as this will ensure your installation is being updated and necessary database migrations are being performed.
Using openproject configure, the wizard will display new steps that weren't available yet or had not been configured in previous installations.
If you want to perform changes to your configuration or are unsure what steps are available, you can safely run openproject reconfigure to walk through the entire configuration process again.
Note that this still takes previous values into consideration. Values that should not change from your previous configurations can be skipped by pressing <Return>. This also applies for steps with passwords, which are shown as empty even though they may have a value. Skipping those steps equals to re-use the existing value.
Compose-based installation
When using the Compose-based docker installation, you can simply do the following:
docker-compose pull
docker-compose up -d
Please note that you can override the TAG that is used to pull the OpenProject image from the Docker Hub.
All-in-one container
When using the all-in-one docker container, you need to perform the following steps:
- First, pull the latest version of the image:
docker pull openproject/community:VERSION
# e.g. docker pull openproject/community:10
Then stop and remove your existing container (we assume that you are running with the recommended production setup here):
docker stop openproject
docker rm openproject
Finally, re-launch the container in the same way you launched it previously. This time, it will use the new image:
docker run -d ... openproject/community:VERSION
I have already started OpenProject without mounted volumes. How do I save my data during an update?
You can extract your data from the existing container and mount it in a new one with the correct configuration.
- Stop the container to avoid changes to the data. Stopping the container does not delete any data as long as you don't remove the container.
- Copy the data to a new directory on the host, e.g.
/var/lib/openproject, or a mounted network drive, say/volume1. - Launch the new container mounting the folders in that directory as described above.
- Delete the old container once you confirmed the new one is working correctly.
You can copy the data from the container using docker cp like this:
# Find out the container name with `docker ps`, we use `openproject-community1` here.
# The target folder should be what ever persistent volume you have on the system, e.g. `/volume1`.
docker cp openproject-community1:/var/openproject/assets /volume1/openproject/assets
docker cp openproject-community1:/var/openproject/pgdata /volume1/openproject/pgdata
Make sure the folders have the correct owner so the new container can read and write them.
sudo chown -R 102 /volume1/openproject/*
After that it's simply a matter of launching the new container mounted with the copied pgdata and assets folders
as described in the installation section.
Upgrade notes to 12.x
There are no special steps or caveats when upgrading to OpenProject 12.x or higher from any version greater than 9.x.
Simply follow the upgrade steps outlined above for your type of installation.
Upgrade notes for 8.x to 9.x
These following points are some known issues regarding the update to 9.0.
MySQL is being deprecated
OpenProject 9.0. is deprecating MySQL support. You can expect full MySQL support for the course of 9.0 releases, but we are likely going to be dropping MySQL completely in one of the following releases.
For more information regarding motivation behind this and migration steps, please see this blog post. In the post, you will find documentation for a mostly-automated migration script to PostgreSQL to help you get up and running with PostgreSQL.
Package repository moved into opf/openproject
The OpenProject community installation is now using the same repository as the OpenProject development core.
Please update your package source according to our installation section.
You will need to replace opf/openproject-ce with opf/openproject together with a change from stable/8 to stable/9 in order to perform the update.
If you have currently installed the stable 8.x release of OpenProject by using the stable/8 package source,
you will need to adjust that package source.
APT-based systems (Debian, Ubuntu)
- Update the reference to
opf/openproject-cein/etc/apt/sources.list.d/openproject.listtoopf/openproject. - Update the reference to
stable/8in/etc/apt/sources.list.d/openproject.listtostable/9. - Perform the Upgrade steps as mentioned above in Upgrading your OpenProject installation
YUM-based systems (CentOS, RHEL)
- Update the reference to
opf/openproject-cein/etc/yum.repos.d/openproject.repotoopf/openproject. - Update the reference to
stable/8in/etc/yum.repos.d/openproject.repotostable/9. - Perform the Upgrade steps as mentioned above in Upgrading your OpenProject installation
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12
- Update the reference to
opf/openproject-cein/etc/zypp/repos.d/openproject.repotoopf/openproject. - Update the reference to
stable/8in/etc/zypp/repos.d/openproject.repotostable/9. - Perform the Upgrade steps as mentioned above in Upgrading your OpenProject installation
Upgrade notes for OpenProject 7.x to 8.x
These following points are some known issues around the update to 8.0. It does not contain the entire list of changes. To see all changes, please browse the release notes.
Upgrades in NPM may result in package inconsistencies
As has been reported from the community, there appear to be issues with NPM leftover packages upgrading to OpenProject 8.0.0. This is due to the packages applying a delta between your installed version and the to-be-installed 8.0. package. In some cases such as SLES12 and Centos 7, the frontend/node_modules folder is not fully correctly replaced. This appears to hint at an issue with yum, the package manager behind both.
To ensure the package's node_modules folder matches your local version, we recommend you simply remove /opt/openproject/frontend/node_modules entirely before installing the package
rm -rf /opt/openproject/frontend/node_modules
# Continue with the installation steps described below
Migration from Textile to Markdown
OpenProject 8.0. has removed Textile, all previous content is migrated to GFM Markdown using pandoc. This will happen automatically during the migration run. A recent pandoc version will be downloaded by OpenProject.
